In his sixth season, Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond has established himself as one of the top big men in the league.

According to Justin Kubatko of StatMuse, Drummond has put himself among some of the most productive young players in NBA history.

Drummond has been a constant source of production throughout his career averaging 13.3 points and 12.8 rebounds per contest. Rebounding has been the most consistent part of his game as he has averaged at least 13.2 rebounds in each of the last five seasons, which puts him near the top of the leader list over that span.

Much of that has been predicated on his ability to grab offensive rebounds as he's averaging 4.7 per contest for his career while topping 5.0 three times over that stretch. This has helped contribute to his scoring with more opportunities at the rim.

That said, Drummond has yet to develop an offensive skill set in the low post that could allow for him to consistently create his own shot. He has been able to work effectively in the pick-and-roll up to this point but in order to take the next step in his progression, there must be more versatility in his scoring.

Ultimately, if Drummond is able to stay healthy, there should much more rebounding records that he could potentially vie for down the line of his career.
